Tonight was all about Bulgaria.Im a sucker for delivery, and it was perfect.With Armenia perhaps being a bit too arty the East and the Balkans will provide a massive head start.A lot of the comp for local points are knocked out and that might matter this year.Im also not convinced Portugal is winning the jury.It might,but Bulgaria also might.Its tight.It looks like a very close 3 way fight.Most early traders will be happy with that fact.
Very pleased for Hungary and Belarus as well.Authentic beat plastic tonight and thats a good sign for future years songs.

Bulgaria didn’t give me chills, emotions or whatever. It was just (very) good, but not that edge to push on in my eyes. Still got a shot with a good draw and Russia-votes though… I think they really need to draw second half tho.

A good mix through. True music, fun, weirdness, authentic and modern songs (Estonia fake 80’s cringe luckily out). Very very very succesful night here too, this is why I love Eurovision betting.

I agree. Italy and Portugal have soul…I feel Bulgaria is very cold and very much about the box-ticking. It can still win, but I think third is it’s limit. Depends how split the eastern vote is with Armenia and Azerbaijan.

i guess looking at the running order Bulgaria probs took that semi with Romania second. god knows what came third? i think if Belarus had got a 2nd half draw it could have surprised but not so sure now.
